As former Senate staffer Tara Reade gave her first on-camera interview detailing her sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden on Thursday, neither ABC’s World News Tonight that evening nor Friday’s Good Morning America mentioned the important development. While NBC and CBS did cover the story, both networks framed Reade’s public comments as a “response to Joe Biden’s strong denial.”

The Department of Education just released results of the quadrennial National Assessment of Educational Progress tests in U.S. history, civics and geography given in 2018 to thousands of American eighth-graders: "Grade 8 Students' NAEP Scores Decline in Geography and U.S. History; Results in Civics Unchanged Since 2014." The tests were administered from January to March 2018 to a nationally…

Facebook is paying out millions to local news outlets, and it is being especially generous to “diverse” communities. The company announced that “200 news organizations will receive nearly $16 million in grants through the Facebook Journalism Project’s relief fund for local news,” in a May 7 press release. “These grants stem from $25 million in local news relief funding announced in March as part…

Has the pandemic caused the liberal media to lose whatever vestigial grip on reality it ever had? The question arises in light of a surreal conversation on today's Morning Joe between Mika Brzezinski and Eugene Robinson. The pair were discussing Robinson's latest Washington Post column, the gist of which is that Democrat campaign tactics are too nice, being based on "reason and fairness." 

On Wednesday's Full Frontal show on TBS, abortion-obsessed comedienne Samantha Bee celebrated moves by abortion providers to help women have abortions at home during the pandemic. As she listed several issues like the difficulty some workers have in being eligible for unemployment benefits that the pandemic has helped highlight, she then turned her attention to the efforts to make abortions…

Somebody came up with the perfect meme mocking how Netflix unnecessarily wedges in LGBT characters into all their shows and Netflix got mad. A twitter user posted an image on Tuesday morning of Patrick from SpongeBob SquarePants trying to insert a huge pumpkin into a small funnel into SpongeBob’s mouth with text indicating that Patrick stood for “Netflix,” the pumpkin “an unnecessary gay…

If the “first draft of history” in the news media sounds dubious, the “second draft” made by Hollywood is almost certainly going to be worse. I’m not talking about documentaries, which can be judged as journalism. I’m talking about movies and TV shows, which will inevitably be pressed to dramatize things so it is ever more loosely “based on real events.”

A week ahead of Attorney General William Barr’s decision on Thursday to have the Department of Justice drop their case against former General Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to announce the innocence of his former National Security Adviser. “What happened to General Michael Flynn, a war hero, should never be allowed to happen to a citizen of the United States again,” Trump…

Nearly two and a half years after accepting a plea deal because he was entrapped by anti-Trump FBI investigators, former General Michael Flynn saw light at the end of the tunnel Thursday. After the case was reviewed by the Department of Justice, Attorney General William Barr order the case be dropped citing the fact Flynn had not lied about anything material or central to the Russia investigation…

In a Thursday afternoon that felt like a trip back to life before the coronavirus pandemic, CNN and MSNBC were not only apoplectic over the Department of Justice dropping its case against retired General Michael Flynn, but despondent over the “demoralizing,” “destructive,” “nuts,” and “terrifying” “injustice” that signaled “the collapse of the Justice Department” and “the rule of law.”

America’s longest running game show will be promoting America’s largest baby-killing organization by way of drag queens next week. And If you thought that was a snippet from a set of dystopian mad libs rather than real news, you're not familiar with the left’s hold on mainstream culture.

These are dispiriting days, marked by confusion, fear and very real heartbreak, compounded by misinformation and severe partisanship. People are weary of cowering at home as their livelihoods evaporate, sick of panic and doomsaying and being told their liberty can be forfeited for an emergency that will go on indefinitely if allowed to. So maybe VE Day on May 8 should mean a little more to us…

Late Night host Seth Meyers long ago shed the role of comedian who will mock both sides. He then shifted to political activist. If Wednesday’s show is any hint, the constant isolation and staying at home may be turning him into a far-left conspiracy theorist. Talking to liberal author Sarah Kendzior, Meyers hinted at a dark future for America:

The liberal media met Facebook’s announcement of its first 20 members of its new Oversight Board with praise and applause. But for some, the lefty choices made were not liberal enough. “Some see the board as a valuable check on Facebook’s power to control the speech and behavior of billions of users,” wrote Columbia Journalism Review’s (CJR) Chief Digital Writer Matthew Ingram.
